When The Moon Hits Your Eye…
disposed to a big pizza pie - that’s amore!
it’s been a unquestionably extensive while since i’ve blogged about my appreciate for homemade pizza. specifically my favorite great aunt’s pizza. she’s made this pizza to go to well over 50 years and all and sundry who has tried it, has loved it. the dough is thin and crisp, as yet it’s also got this amazing masticate. it’s got a great twang from the yeast and she knows exactly how much of each topping to put on so they all meld splendidly once the pie is brought from the oven. ohmygod smells so good.. tastes even better!i blogged about her pizza innumerable moons ago going on about how i was a pizza snob and how unconventional her plan was compared to what i’ve read not far from. well this month’s daring baker confrontation proved that moreover again. hosted by the lovely rosa of rosa’s yummy yum’s! you did an amazing job! rosa took over after sherry of what did you devour? passed this past july. personally, i judge sher would have been extremely proud of rosa and all of the daring bakers this month! her idea for pizza was a fabulous one and the recipe she chose was excellent! :)this recipe, written by peter reinhart and can be ground in the bread baker’s apprentice, was very multifarious from my auntie’s recipe. the dough is made with cold flour, ice cold water, a small amount of instant yeast, salt, sugar and olive oil. that’s a big difference from water, flour and yeast that i’m familiar to.
but lemme tell yous.. the texture of this dough is rather uhmm.. moist. it is very very sticky - the wettest pizza dough i’ve ever dealt with to sure. i had that stuff stuck to everything but the fakkin’ dogs for crissakes. hold responsible god they were sleeping in the living cell when i made the dough! 
nonetheless it was fab. consecrated cow, talk about silky smooth and pliable after it had fermented upon night in the fridge! and moment it was baked.. it was so tender. yes the texture of this dough is what i fell in attachment with.the test? not so much.. i funds, don’t get me wrong.. it was good.. but i missed that tangy flavor from what i assume is the yeast in my auntie’s pizza dough. someone needs to educate me on this.. because i know now that my auntie uses way too much yeast in her approach (3 packets of yeast to 6 c. of flour), yes? is there another aspect to get that same flavor without adding so much? is the flavor tamed after it sits for so want? because her recipe is single sitting long passably to understudy in size twice (approx. 2 hours).
i ask all of this because i think i could produce the best pizza dough eternally if i could just lay one’s hands on the taste of my auntie’s pizza combined with the texture of reinhart’s pizza. :)anyhoo.. i’m getting ahead of myself. the taste of reinhart’s dough is flavorful, well-deserved not what i’m tolerant of to. i did identify that if your gravy is on the salty side it will not pair well with this dough.. for me my first pizzas were way too salty and i couldn’t get in all respects 2 slices. hubbs, on the other hand, thought it was good. i made another pizza a week later with the extra dough frozen from the archetypal batch. this time i simply wanting-baked the dough as a replacement for about 5 minutes, then lightly brushed it with a smidgin butter. next, i sprinkled on this amazing mix of spices that i’d never adapted to before called jojo potato from the spice depot. i’ll be writing more about these spices in a future notify.. they are pleasing! on top of the spiced butter i spread shredded chicken, pineapple, more pungency and shredded monterey jack cheese.*boing*
‘kay well if i had one.. it would have *boing*’d when i bit into that pizza.. oh my lawd, it was so so good!

Unfortunately, There Won’t Be Anyone Wearing This Type of Outfit on Broad Street Tonight [Duan!]
Win or lose, mind you. It’s just too damn cold to be parading around like this young lady was last Sunday night. She is obviously proud of her formidable upper thigh definition. The forecast for the game tonight is a frigid 30 degrees. Of course if there is a victory at the end of this wacky three inning- bullpen-shootout, even the city’s most bottom-heavy, self-conscious denizens will gladly shed their long pants with joy. Me first.
So, yeah. I’m going. Time to shower up and layer myself like a man about to summit Mt. Everest. And, thankfully, there will be beer.

Tonight: Watch order Stromectol Sussman live blog from some strange, tiny town in Canada. Keep him company for an hour or two.
Tomorrow: Remember, Drew Magary co-edits the site, unleashing his poop-infested madness upon us for a full day. This can only be tolerated with a significant hangover buy Zanaflex, so I suggest everyone get good and plastered this evening.
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Please revel in the beat-boxing ability of one Monty Gee. I mean, SKEETS-boxing.
See you tomorrow.

Nolan (Vaguely) Answers if He’ll Direct Third Batman
Colts schedule
hey, grandchildren, do you still follow that neck man you liked so much? that… batmin character? oh, good, because christopher nolan has finally spoken on if he’s doing a third batmin movie! his answer: maybe. more specifically: well … let me think how to put this. there are two things to be said. one is the force on falsehood. what’s the story? is there a white that’s going to keep me emotionally invested in favour of the couple of years that it will take to make another joined? that’s the overriding question. on a more superficial level, i arrange to ask the question: how many good third movies in a franchise can people name? [laughs.] at the having said that time, in taking on the second one, we had the challenge of frustrating to remedy a great second movie, and there haven’t been too various of those either. it’s all about the dispatch uncommonly. if the story is there, the whole is possible. i hope that was a suitably slippery fit. peradventure he’s right. you can’t always advocate the lenient of third-chapter quality of an austin powers in goldmember. you can deliver assign to the full interview here, thanks to illfigure.

Jon Heyman: Rays finally show some inexperience
philadelphia — the feel-good tampa bay rays got a rude awakening here late saturday night and at daybreak sunday morning, much ruder than even v.p. hopeful/hockey mom sarah palin received when she dropped the first puck here at a flyers game to a chorus of boos a couple weeks stand behind. the rays were greeted with insults and epithets, according to cliff floyd, and the rays young star evan longoria, who at the end of the day figured in the frequency losing play, was serenaded all game with chants of “eva.” in contrast to the enigmatic and discordant treatment from the philly punctilious, they were frustrated by tantalizingly soft stuff from the phillies middle-aged starter jamie moyer, who showed his clear-sightedness in holding the young tampa gang at bay most of the night.

Arista Networks
Arista Networks
According to the New York Times today, Andreas von Bechtolsheim, a brilliant billionaire who has created some of the best-selling computer systems in the industry, is resigning as chief architect of Sun Microsystems to focus on a start-up that is challenging another industry giant, Cisco Systems.
Mr. Bechtolsheim’s new company, Arista Networks, has built an ultra-fast network switch that costs one-tenth the price of similar products from Cisco. The hardware, which has already been purchased in small quantities by government labs, universities and Internet start-ups, is aimed squarely at data-oriented organizations like Google that need to wring as much speed as possible from their computing centers.
While a number of companies sell competing gear, the pedigree of Arista’s management and its modular, easy-to-update software have given the four-year-old firm instant credibility in Silicon Valley.
Mr. Bechtolsheim, who will serve as chairman and chief development officer of Arista, co-founded Sun and invented its first product, a high-powered desktop computer known as a workstation. He went on to start two other companies before returning to Sun four years ago and overhauling its product line.
Arista ? known as Arastra until it changed its name this week ? is expected to announce on Thursday that it has recruited Jayshree Ullal as chief executive. Ms. Ullal left Cisco in May after leading the company’s $10 billion corporate switch business. In addition, the company will name a Stanford University professor, David R. Cheriton, as its chief scientist. Mr. Bechtolsheim and Mr. Cheriton are the sole investors in Arista, and they are known in Silicon Valley as men with a golden touch.
In 1996, Cisco acquired a company they started, Granite Systems, for $220 million, and they helped Cisco turn the technology into top-selling products. They formed another start-up, Kealia, to make computer servers, and sold that company to Sun in 2004. Mr. Bechtolsheim remained with Sun and worked on some of its switching products while developing Arista as a side project.
Mr. Bechtolsheim and Mr. Cheriton were also early investors in Google and VMware and became billionaires when those companies turned into big successes.
With Arista, the pair sought to develop products that took advantage of some of the sophisticated software concepts Mr. Cheriton has explored as an academic. They decided to focus on switches that shuttle Internet traffic using the 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard, which is many times faster than the Gigabit Ethernet standard that dominates data centers today.
Switches are the most common hardware used to funnel information between computing systems in a network. The key to Arista’s switches is the structure of the software that manages them.
A typical switch from Cisco is rich in features, but has up to 20 million lines of software code and may run on relatively slow processors. Arista breaks all of the major and minor tasks into their own modules that can be updated individually and uses more powerful chips to run it all.
Mr. Bechtolsheim said the design would let Arista make quick changes to products ? even while they were running ? and would also open an interface for customers to more easily add their own features.
“My iPhone runs better software than a typical switch,” Mr. Bechtolsheim said. “It is just mind-boggling that the cheapest consumer product has more robust software than what the Internet runs on.”

In addition, Arista packages its equipment in compact cases that allow more connections at a much cheaper price than Cisco’s bulkier machines.
Lean staffing also helps Arista keep its costs down. The Menlo Park, Calif., company has fewer than 50 employees and started shipping systems a few months ago even though it had no formal chief executive.
“One mistake a lot of start-ups make with the encouragement of venture capitalists is to hire the whole management team upfront,” said Mr. Bechtolsheim. “You have a lot of people twiddling their thumbs and spending money.”
The knocks on Cisco’s expensive gear are nothing new. “Cisco doesn’t price based on cost,” said Joe Skorupa, an analyst at Gartner, a research firm. “They price based on a willingness viagra bestellen to pay.”
In Cisco’s defense, Inbar Lasser-Raab, a marketing director at the company, said that Cisco had been working on this technology since 2003 and believed it could “provide great value” for customers.
